Story  of  Thirty -Nine  Years 

By  Mrs.  A.  M.  Bacon. 

Hay  9,  1871,  was  a day  big  with  high  endeav- 
or and  world-embracing  plans.  Mrs.  C.  F. 
Tolman  had  a vision.  She  saw  the  hosts 
of  Baptist  women  in  the  West  sending  mes- 
sengers of  the  Cross  to  tell  the  story  of  redeeming 
love  to  their  sin-bound  sisters  in  the  East.  Others 
felt  the  thrill  of  her  burning  words.  A goodly  com- 
pany met  in  the  old  First  Church,  Chicago,  in  re- 
sponse to  her  call  to  the  women  of  the  Northwest. 
Mrs.  A.  M.  Bacon  presided.  Mrs.  Robert  Harris 
had  a vision  of  an  opportunity  to  use  her  social 
position  in  direct  service  for  the  unloved  wives . 
and  children  in  pagan  countries — and,  was  made 
president;  Mrs.  Tolman,  corresponding  secretary; 
Mrs.  J.  O.  Brayman,  recording  secretary;  Mrs.  S.  M. 
Osgood,  treasurer;  Mrs.  Bacon,  western  editor  of 
the  Helping  Hand.  This  Woman's  Foreign  Mis- 
sionary Society  of  the  West,  with  its  sister  society 
in  Boston,  offered  themselves  as  Helping  Hands  to 
the  American  Baptist  Missionary  Union  with  these 
solemn  words:  “Here  and  now,  forming  an  alliance 
for  Christ  and  Christ’s  work,  with  a Christly  self- 
denial  and  sacrifice,  we  would  pledge  ourselves  to 
give  for  Christ,  to  do  service  for  Christ,  to  live  for 
Christ  and  in  this  work  perform,  so  far  as  we  shall 
be  able,  all  that  is  implied  in  woman’s  work  for 
women  in  heathen  lands.”

This  infant  organization  had  no  “rooms,”  but  had 
its  monthly  meetings  in  private  parlors,  hotel  par- 
lors, or  later  at  the  headquarters  of  the  Publication 
Society,  each  officer  devoting  a place  in  her  own 
home  to  the  archives  and  carrying  with  her  to  the 
meetings  such  letters  and  records  as  were  needed. 
So  the  work  began. 

An  earnest  appeal  was  made  “that  every  church, 
however  small,  and  every  woman,  however  humble, 
should  have  a share  in  the  work.”  At  the  close 
of  the  first  year  there  were  one  hundred  and  thirty- 
four  foreign  mission  circles  in  seven  states,  Illinois 
having  fifty-eight;  Michigan,  twenty;  Ohio,  eighteen, 
and  Wisconsin,  seventeen.  Five  other  states  had 
fewer  circles.  The  receipts  were  $4,244.69.  No 
sooner  had  the  word  gone  forth  that  a Woman’s 
Society  was  organized  to  send  single  women  mis- 
sionaries than  many  were  heard  saying:  “Here  am 
I,  send  me,”  hailing  with  joy  this  auspicious  day, 
for  which  they  had  waited  long.  Two  were  sent 
the  first  year., 

THE  HOME  DEPARTMENT 

grew  as  the  years  went  by.  At  the  close  of  the  first 
decade  advance  steps  were  taken  with  a view  to  or- 
ganize young  women,  and  the  Temple  Builders  came 
into  being,  to  interest  and  instruct  children  in  the 
Sunday  Schools  and  to  enlist  the  colored  Baptist 
women.  Studies  were  prepared  by  Mrs.  Justin  Smith 
and  Miss  Ella  O.  Patrick,  and  both  German  and 
Swedish  leaflets  were  issued  for  our  large  and  zeal- 
ous foreign  constituency. 


s 


Of  the  first  officers,  Mrs.  Robert  Harris,  the  in- 
imitable president,  held  her  position  eight  years; 
Mrs.  C.  F.  Tolman  served  as  foreign  secretary  four 
years;  Mrs.  A.  M.  Bacon  as  Home  and  Foreign  sec- 
retary thirty  years;  Mrs.  Osgood  as  treasurer  four 
years  and  Mrs.  J.  O.  Brayman  as  recording  secretary 
twenty-six  years. 

Note. — To  complete  the  story  of  those  early  years,  one 
should  consult  the  “Ten  Years’  and  Twenty  Years’  His- 
tory’’ and  “Memories  of  Twenty-flve  Years.”  See  also 
“What  and  Why.” 

SCHOOLS. 

The  school  question  has  from  the  first  been  a 
live  one  in  the  Board  and  on  the  field.  Shall  chil- 
dren of  heathen  parents  be  admitted?  Shall  advance 
work  be  undertaken?  Shall  English  be  taught?  Shall 
government  inspection  and  government  grants  be 
accepted?  Shall  we  teach  and  then  disciple,  or  dis- 
ciple and  then  teach? 

The  years  have  answered  these  questions.  Schools 
have  proved  to  be  centers  of  evangelism,  have  mul- 
tiplied and  extended  the  curriculum.  So  that  we 
now  support  twenty-three  graded  schools,  most  of 
them  reaching  the  eighth  standard  (grade),  five 
Bible  training  schools,  one  of  higher  grade  with 
academic  and  normal  courses.  Village,  jungle  and 
country  schools  have  been  the  outgrowth  of  the 
central  or  town  school,  many  of  them  taught  by 
pupils  during  their  vacation.  These  in  turn  become 
feeders  of  the  central  school.  The  subject  of  self- 
support  is  a vital  one.  It  has  been  much  discussed, 
strenuously  advocated  and  successfully  practiced 


4 


by  some.  On  one  hand  there  is  danger  of  giving 
something  for  nothing  and  developing  a class  of 
dependents.  On  the  other  hand,  there  is  danger  of 
debarring  many  from  school  if  tuition  is  required. 
Opinions  vary;  practices  vary.  Conditions  vary,  of 
course.  No  school  fee,  a small  fee,  and  entire  native 
support  are  the  three  conditions  the  student  of  the 
missionary  school  system  will  meet.  Self-support 
is  the  ultimate  aim.  Our  schools  are  for  girls  only, 
with  the  exception  of  Karen  Schools  in  Burma, 
which  are  co-educational. 

Note. — A booklet,  “Our  Schools  In  the  Orient,”  and 
school  leaflets,  just  published,  will  give  a complete  view 
of  this  department  of  the  Woman's  Baptist  Foreign  Mis- 
sionary Society  of  the  West. 

EVANGELISM. 

Some  missionaries  sent  by  the  Board  have  heard 
a voice  saying:  “Do  the  work  of  an  evangelist," 
and  have  given  themselves  to  this  definite  service. 
But  this  is  of  necessity  twofold.  It  demands  trained 
native  helpers,  and  Bible  Training  Schools  have 
grown  up  and  are  more  and  more  in  demand.  The 
older  one,  in  Swatow,  China,  is  poorly  equipped. 
As  much  of  the  year  is  spent  in  touring,  a Bible 
Woman’s  house  has  often  been  a secondary  consid- 
eration, and  consequently  small  and  inconvenient, 
but  the  growth  of  this  department  of  work  and  the 
fact  so  often  stated,  that  orientals  must  be  evan- 
gelized by  orientals,  have  demanded  better  equip- 
ment and  longer  school  terms.  In  Japan  our  school 
is  expected  to  train  women  for  the  entire  field,  which 


5 


can  be  done  successfully  because  of  the  more  lim- 
ited territory. 

Note. — At  headquarters  may  be  had:  “Bible  Woman’s 

Work,”  “The  Ministry  of  the  Bible  Woman,”  “Ongole 
Bible  Women,”  “Osaka  Bible  Training  School,”  “Chin  Po 
and  Slmprosa.” 

MEDICAL  WORK. 

China. — Teachers  and  evangelists  met  so  much  of 
physical  suffering  in  their  work  that  without  di- 
ploma or  license,  they  were  obliged  to  play  the  part 
of  doctors.  “Perry  Davis’  Pain  Killer”  and  “Pond’s 
Extract”  could  not  meet  every  case,  and  the  call 
for  physicians  oft  repeated  was  first  met  by  send- 
ing Dr.  Caroline  H.  Daniells  to  Swatow,  China,  in 
1879.  Within  three  years  two  hospital  buildings 
accomodating  twenty  patients  adorned  the  com- 
pound hillside.  The  following  year  drove  the  de- 
voted and  beloved  physician  home.  For  five  weary 
years  the  Chinese  women  waited  for  the  healer  and 
she  came  in  the  person  of  Dr.  Anna  K.  Scott  in 
1889.  Years  passed  under  her  blessed  ministries. 
The  buildings,  once  ample,  were  now  too  small  to 
accommodate  the  inflowing  tide  of  patients.  After 
numerous  repairs  and  additions,  having  done  good 
service  twenty  years,  they  were  replaced  by  the 
commodious,  three-story  Martha  Thresher  hospital 
for  women  and  the  Edward  Payson  Scott  hospital 
for  men.  Dr.  Scott  still  cares  for  them  both  and 
treats  the  women  patients. 

Kityang  is  an  outgrowth  of  Swatow  medical  as 
well  as  evangelistic  work.  Dr.  Josephine  M.  Bixby, 
after  one  year  in  Swatow,  removed  to  this  strategic 


6 


point.  Hospital  accommodations  were  inconvenient 
and  unsanitary,  and  she  set  herself  about  forming 
plans  for  improvement,  which,  after  years  of  hard 
work  and  patient  waiting,  became  a reality.  A large 
and  convenient  building  stands  as  a testimony  to  her 
energy  and  persistency.  But  she  who  had  so  wisely 
and  bravely  planned  and  executed  was  called  up 
higher,  and  the  doors  were  closed  until  Dr.  R.  E. 
Adkins  took  temporary  charge,  awaiting  the  com- 
ing of  a woman  doctor,  which  will  leave  him  free  to 
enter  upon  his  permanent  work  in  Chaochowfu. 

Of  the  work  he  says:  “It  cannot  be  gainsaid  that 
there  is  a unique  opportunity  for  ‘individual  work 
for  individual  souls’  in  the  hospital,  where  hearts  are 
tender  and  peculiarly  open  because  of  bodily  minis- 
trations, where  the  gospel  has  a free  hearing  and 
the  ‘wonderful  words  of  life’  can  be  sung  and 
preached  ‘over  and  over  again’  to  many  of  the  same 
people  day  after  day,  where  the  individual  inquirer 
can  be  sought  out  and  talked  with  sympathetically 
for  hours  at  a time  and  may  be  won.  You  don’t 
have  to  ‘go  out  into  the  highways  and  hedges  and 
compel  them  to  come  in’;  your  audience  is  right 
there  every  day  and  in  a listening  mood. 

“Surely  the  medical  work  is  abundantly  justified 
from  a purely  humanitarian  standpoint,  even  if  it 
did  not  provide  such  exceptional  facilities  for  getting 
close  to  the  hearts  of  the  Chinese  and  furnish  in 
concrete  form  a daily  demonstration  of  the  spirit  of 
brotherly  love.  We  only  wish  its  influence  might 
be  multiplied  a hundredfold.’’

Dr.  Margaret  Grant  had  an  auspicious  opening  for 
medical  work  in  Kaying.  But  the  beginning  only 
was  made  before  her  return  home  with  Dr.  Bixby 
in  1907,  and  she  has  never  been  able  to  return. 

The  story  of  our  medical  work  would  not  be  com- 
plete without  mentioning  Dr.  Lydia  A.  Wykoff,  who 
spent  some  time  in  Hanyang  and  later  in  Huchow, 
China,  and  Dr.  Alice  Ross,  who  made  a brilliant 
beginning  in  Swatow  and  was  driven  home  by  sick- 
ness after  a brief  service. 

Burma. — This  Board  opened  medical  work  in  Bas- 
sein,  Burma,  by  sending  Dr.  Marie  M.  Cote  in  1888.

She  had  scarcely  put  her  hand  to  the  work  when  an 
imperative  need  took  her  to  the  Lady  Dufferin  hos- 
pital, and  she  has  since  been  self-supporting  and  is 
located  in  Rangoon.  The  Bassein  vacancy  was  filled 
by  Dr.  May  Fowler — now  Mrs.  Thompson — in  1891. 
For  five  years  she  had  charge  of  the  Carpenter 
Memorial  Hospital.  She  made  a specialty  of  train- 
ing nurses  and  Karen  assistants,  cared  for  the  sick 
in  both  the  Pwo  and  Sgau  schools,  and  had  her  hos- 
pital constantly  filled.  She  practiced  among  Bur- 
mese, Indian  and  Karen  patients  and  wished  for  a 
Hindustani  and  Burman  tongue,  as  well  as  a Karen, 
that  she  might  tell  the  wonderful  story  of  God’s 
love  for  sinful  man  to  everyone.  Karen  doctors  ed- 
ucated in  America  took  charge  of  the  Carpenter 
Memorial  Hospital. 

Woman’s  medical  work  was  carried  on  in  Toungoo 
by  Dr.  Naomi  Garton  from  1883  to  1890.  Without 
a hospital  or  necessary  apparatus,  she  used  one  room 
of  the  girls’  dormitory  for  the  sick  and  visited  out- 
patients in  their  homes.  After  a long  furlough.  Dr. 
Garton  again  opened  medical  work  in  1905  under 
somewhat  improved  conditions  on  the  Burman  Com- 
pound in  Toungoo,  which  service  was  interrupted 
again  by  a brief  stay  in  Bhamo  and  a return  home 
in  1909.

THE  SENT  ONES. 

"Whom  shall  I send,  and  who  will  go  for  us?” 

To  this  question  one  hundred  and  forty-five  of 
the  many  hundreds  who  have  answered  “Here  am  I, 
send  me,”  have  been  sent.  Mrs.  Randall,  in  her 
“Memories  of  Twenty-five  Years,”  has  graphically 
characterized  those  heroines  of  faith  who  during  the 
quarter  century  had  given  themselves  to  God  for 
work  among  the  heathen.  Of  the  hundred  and  forty- 
five,  eight  received  appointment  while  on  the  field. 
In  1890  ten  were  added  to  our  working  force,  three 
of  them  being  already  on  the  field.  In  1907  ten  new 
appointees  sailed  from  this  country — the  largest 
number  sent  in  any  one  year.  Never  yet  has  the 
demand  been  met;  never  yet  ha%'e  the  urgent  calls 
to  fill  important  vacancies  found  prompt  response. 
The  story  of  the  years  must  tell  of  schools  without 
teachers,  of  broken  health  and  weary  waiting  for 
recruits. 

Burma. — This  peculiarly  Baptist  field — the  one  to 
which  we  sent  our  first  missionary — with  a popula- 
tion of  10,490,624  Buddhists,  Burmans  and  Karens, 
who  were  looking  for  the  “White  Brother  and  the 
White  Book,”  has  heard  the  gospel  message  from 
forty-eight.  Is  this  our  share  of  these  heathen? 

“India  is  not  a province,  but  a continent.  It  is  not 
a single,  seamless  robe,  but  a coat  of  many  colors. 
It  is  a jumble  of  races,  a chaos  of  variant  customs, 
a babel  of  tongues,  a medley  of  castes  and  classes, 
a jangle  of  warring  creeds. 


10 


India  has  within  its  borders  300,000,000  people.  It 
comprises  eleven  distinct  nations,  besides  various 
small  tribes.  These  diflFer  widely,  both  in  physical 
and  mental  traits.  It  has  seventy  distinct  languages 
and  well-developed  dialects. 

India!  It  is  the  cradle  of  philosophies,  the  ancient 
home  of  mysticisms,  the  motherland  of  religions. 
Hinduism  claims  200,000,000  followers.  The  other 
faiths,  in  the  order  of  their  numerical  precedence, 
are  the  Mohammedan,  Buddhist,  Christian,  Sikh, 
Jain.  Parsee  and  Jewish.” — Dr.  de  Blois. 

We  have  but  just  touched  the  edge  of  India,  have 
reached  a few  Hindus  only,  have  trained  and  sent 
out  a mere  handful  of  Bible  women,  gathered  chil- 
dren in  schools — alas!  too  few  for  the  waiting  mul- 
titudes. These  Telugus  and  Assamese  have  together 
heard  the  “old,  old  story”  from  thirtj’-one  of  those 
who  have  gone  for  us.  Is  that  our  share  of  India’s 
heathen? 

China. — New  China,  wide-awake  China,  is  reaching 
out  for  western  learning,  deliberately  moving  to- 
ward constitutional  and  parliamentary  government. 
It  seems  scarcely  believable  that  in  all  these  years 
since  Mrs.  Fielde  began  training  our  Bible  women 
in  1878  only  forty-two  women  have  represented  this 
Board  in  China.  The  cry  today  from  that  empire 
is:  “Send  us  doctors,  send  nurses,  send  teachers, 
send  e\-angelists — and  send  them  now.”  What  re- 
sponse shall  be  given  to  this  cry?  Two  hundred  mil- 
lion Chinese  women  and  children  to  be  saved  in  this 
generation,  if  at  all.  What  is  our  share? 


11 


Japan  is  not  second  to  China  in  its  wide-open 
doors,  its  demand  for  higher  education  and  its  call 
for  more  workers.  It  is  rapidly  making  history. 
What  shall  it  be?  Fourteen  able  women  have  helped 
to  make  it  a Christian  nation.  Only  six  are  now  in 
active  service.  What  are  these  among  so  many? 
What  is  our  share  of  the  44,360,000  Japanese? 

Africa. — The  work  in  .Africa  has  been  sporadic. 
Between  1884  and  1895  we  had  five  missionaries  on 
the  field.  Since  then  we  have  sent  one  and  in  many 
ways  supported  the  work. 

The  Philippines. — The  opening  of  the  Philippine 
Islands  in  1898  offered  a new  and  most  interesting 
field  for  Christian  work.  Miss  Johnson,  zealous, 
wide-awake,  went  to  Jaro  in  1903  to  work  hand  to 
hand  with  the  women  to  win  them  to  Christ  and 
train  them  as  Bible  women.  She  now  has  a Bible 
Training  School  with  dormitory  and  sixty-seven  pu- 
pils; one  Sunday  School  at  Jaro,  one  hundred  and 
fifty  pupils;  one  Baptist  Young  People’s  Union  at 
Jaro;  one  Woman’s  Society  at  Janiway;  one  country 
Sunday  School  and  three  Bible  women.  She  has 
proved  herself  an  evangelist  and  a leader. 

Miss  Kuhlen,  dowered  with  a large  experience  in 
India,  entered  upon  dormitory  work  in  Bacolod  in 
1904.  She  makes  a Christian  home  for  girls  attend- 
ing government  schools,  gives  Bible  instruction  and 
personal  oversight  in  the  home — a most  blessed  and 
fruitful  service,  fruitful  in  saved  souls.  Miss  Bis- 
singer,  an  enthusiastic  teacher,  went  in  1907.  Miss 


12 


Whelpton,  a nurse,  went  in  1909.  Though  these  live 
under  the  stars  and  stripes,  they  must  learn  a for- 
eign language  before  they  can  commence  effectively 
to  reach  the  Filipinos.  Miss  Bissinger  speaks  of  her 
projected  plan  in  these  stirring  words: 

“On  the  triple  foundation  of  faith,  hope  and  en- 
thusiasm, we  begin  the  superstructure  of  our  Chris- 
tian educational  work  for  girls.  It  has  been  decided 
to  name  our  school  ‘The  Academia.’  The  one  un- 
faltering, determined  aim  of  the  school  shall  be  to 
make  strong,  sturdy,  self-reliant,  well-poised  charac- 
ters, fit  to  establish  homes  wherein  they  as  Chris- 
tian women  shall  shape  the  thought  of  future  gen- 
erations. With  a conviction  that  grows  in  intensity 
each  day,  I foresee  for  this  school  a prosperous 
future,  and  I base  all  my  optimistic  predictions  on 
this  one  fact:  that  the  work  is  God-ordained,  and 
that  therefore  it  is  bound  to  attain  to  a glorious  de- 
velopment.” 

The  Philippine  Islands,  with  a population  of  7,635,- 
426,  offer  Christian  -work  for  not  only  different  de- 
nominations, but  for  those  who  sing  “My  country, 
’tis  of  thee,”  and  those  who  sing, 

“From  Greenland’s  icy  mountains, 

From  India’s  coral  strand.” 

Note. — For  further  information  concerning  individuals 
reference  may  be  had  to  “Pencil  Sketches”  and  “Pictures” 
of  our  missionaries ; concerning  their  work,  “The  Annual 
Report”  and  “The  Work  and  the  Workers”  series.

CROWNED. 

“Lest  we  forget.” 

In  our  backward  glance  over  the  passing  years 
those  who  have  fought  the  good  fight,  finished  the 
course,  kept  the  faith  and  received  the  crown  rise 
before  us.  When  our  numbers  were  few  Miss  Bron- 
son, after  a brief  service,  was  called  up  higher.  This 
first  break  in  our  ranks  was  followed  by  others. 
Misses  Harris,  Ambrose,  McGee,  Duffield,  Anderson, 
Simons  and  Bixby  all  died  while  in  active  service  or 
on  furlough.  Others  took  the  names  and  brightened 
the  homes  of  missionaries  of  the  Union,  and  have 
one  by  one  joined  the  innumerable  company.  Twen- 
ty-three have  ceased  their  labors,  some  having 
wrought  only  through  the  morning  hours,  some  till 
the  noontide,  and  some  till  the  westering  sun  cast 
lengthened  shadows. 

On  this  side  the  waters  we  recall  the  sweet-spir- 
ited Mrs.  Howe,  for  thirteen  years  president;  the 
alert  Mrs.  Randall,  who  served  as  vice-president  and 
president  most  effectively;  the  faithful  Mrs.  Os- 
good; the  spirituelle  Mrs.  Tolman,  who  for  four 
years  as  secretary  shaped  and  fostered  the  new  or- 
ganization; the  enthusiastic  Mrs.  Mitchell,  first 
chairman  of  the  Board,  and  wide-awake  and  ag- 
gressive Mrs.  Stilwell,  for  many  years  vice-presi- 
dent. 

PROBLEMS  AND  POLICIES. 

In  the  dimly  remembered  past  of  this  Society, 
when  we  bought  no  land  and  built  few  houses,  there 


14 


was  more  money  than  the  work  then  in  hand  de- 
manded, and  this  Board  paid  the  salaries  of  the  wives 
of  several  missionaries  for  two  years.  Later  we 
turned  over  to  the  Union  undesignated  all  surplus 
over  $200.  But  the  problem  today  is  not  what  shall 
we  do  with  our  surplus,  but  what  shall  we  do  with 
our  deficit?  The  logical  answer  is.  Raise  the  money, 
though  at  the  cost  of  great  sacrifice,  and  pay  it. 

The  problem  still  unsolved  by  missionary  mathe- 
matics is  whether  consolidation  with  the  American 
Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  will  be  a more 
economical  and  more  efficient  force  in  evangelizing 
the  pagan  world.  Have  women’s  societies  fulfilled 
their  mission  as  separate  organizations? 

Another  problem — shall  there  be  more  than  one 
Woman’s  Foreign  Missionary  Society?  If  one,  where 
shall  the  headquarters  be  located?  If  two,  how  shall 
their  work  in  the  home  department  and  on  the 
foreign  field  be  affiliated?  A partial  solution  of  the 
last  problem  has  been  reached  by  the  appointment 
of  a council  of  three  members  from  each  Board  to 
formulate  plans  for  a better  cultivation  of  the  home 
field  and  to  consider  all  problems  and  difficult  ques- 
tions concerning  the  relations  of  our  missionaries  on 
the  foreign  field. 

The  Budget  is  a most  difficult  problem.  What  ad- 
vantages from  going  into  the  Budget?  How  shall  it 
be  made  to  cover  all  our  liabilities?  How  shall  it 
be  apportioned  to  the  constituency  and  how  col- 
lected?

When  all  these  problems  are  solved,  we  need  not 
expect  a missionary  millennium,  but  we  may  hope 
to  help  usher  in  the  day  when  the  kingdom  of  this 
world  shall  become  the  Kingdom  of  our  Lord  and 
of  His  Christ.

Mission  Societies.”
